Network of Lies is his third book, and his second about Fox News. Unlike his 2020 book Hoax, however, his latest draws on the unprecedented trove of evidence from inside Fox News revealed as part of Dominion Voting System's defamation suit over 2020 election lies -- a suit that ended with a major $787 million settlement. The internal communications, which included texts, emails and more from top Fox News hosts and executives, revealed the extent the network went to promote Donald Trump's farcical claim the election was stolen from him -- all to appease an audience that demanded its false beliefs be affirmed.
